War Thunder Update 2.59.0.87 Patch Notes
Ground Vehicles
- Object 416 — a bug that caused the machine gun ammo to not display above the action bar has been fixed. (Report).
Game Mechanics
- A bug where vehicles in battle were sometimes not locked for respawn if their last destruction was counted as a crash or leave kill has been fixed. This issue could have occurred after using a backup vehicle or exhausting the tournament respawn limit.

- A bug that sometimes caused ray traced shadows of ships to disappear or flicker has been fixed.
- A bug that caused the screen to turn black on Linux with Ray Reconstruction enabled has been fixed.
